Reseña del editor

This is a powerful saga of three friends and lovers from legendary author Michael Thomas Ford. Ford's most extraordinary novel yet honestly and lovingly explores the lives and bonds of three men in a saga spanning almost 60 years. History professor Ned Brummel is living happily with his partner of 12 years in small-town Maine when he receives a call from his estranged friend - Jack - telling him that another friend - Andy - is very ill and possibly near death. The news shatters the peace of his world and awakens memories that have lain dormant for years. As Ned boards a plane for Chicago on his way to his friend's bedside, he embarks on another journey, into the past, examining the major events and small moments that have shaped his life and his relationships with these two very different, very important men. Growing up together through the restrictive 1950s and confusing '60s, Jackson "Jack" Grace and Ned Brummel took solace in their love for each other. But when they arrive at college in 1969 and meet handsome farm boy Andy Kowalski, everything changes. Despite Andy's apparent heterosexuality, both Jack and Ned fall hard for him, straining their close friendship. Soon, the three men will become involved in a series of intense liaisons and bitter betrayals, coming together and flying apart as they alternately hurt, love, shape and heal one another over the course of years. From the heady drug- and sex-fuelled days of San Francisco in the wild '70s to the haunting spectre of AIDS in the '80s and the righteous activism of the '90s, their relationship transforms and grows, reflecting the changes occurring around them. Now, together and in the most crucial and intimate of settings, Ned, Jack and Andy have another chance to confront the damage of the past and embrace the bonds of friendship and love that have stood the test of time.
